Description
Mikhail Baryshnikov and White Oak Dance Project perform "El Penitente" at Sadler's Wells. The overhead camera position, correct focus, and framing of the shots highlight Baryshnikov's physicality and range of expression. Time code runs continuously throughout. There are some areas where the sound and picture freeze or cut out; these are momentary glitches.
